Cluster of Pearls


Supplies:
14 - 5 mm round pearls
14 - 1" 20 guage silver colored copper wire (for beads)
2 - 3" 20 guage silver colored copper wire (for hooks)


Tools
Basic Tool Kit
Ring Mandrel

Duration
30 minutes


Length: 1 1/2"

The Idea
To create the hook, take the 3" wire and create a wire wrapped loop at one end. Wrap the wire around a cylindrical object, something like a permanent marker for the round bend. 

Take about a 1" length of silver wire and with chain nose pliers, bend over about 1/16" wire over itself to create a headpin. Thread the pearl beads through and create wire loop. Do this to the remaining beads. Attach 7 pearls to each of the hooks.
 
Idea:
Try other beads for a different effect.
